HopsGuy Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 It's big news here in the Queen City (sometimes these jokes are too easy) that Charlotte is the "Manliest City in America". With "Salty Snack Sales" as a metric, the fact that Lance (maker of those awesome peanut butter & cheese crackers) is here was probably the deciding factor. It goes along with Dudefest this weekend, I suppose. Strange that Buffalo is ranked 47th out of 50. Hey, at least the Nickel City placed 2 spots ahead of Habana Norte.
theesir Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I think if you look at all the internet tough guys that post in the comments section of the Buffalo News you would find this is indeed the most "virtually manly" city in America.
Typical TBD Guy Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Half of the hits to Randy Constan's web site (the Peter Pan guy) come from Buffalonians. Do you think this factored into our poor ranking?
Hossage Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I WANNA KNOW WHICH OF YOU LADYBOY CITIES WANTS TO TAKE ON THE MANICORN IN THE IRON CAGE, BABY! COME GET SOME, CHARLOTTE. YOUR CITY EVEN HAS A FEMALE NAME! WE WRESTLE BUFFALO UP HERE AND SHOOT PEOPLE OVER CARD GAMES. I HAVENT CHANGED MY FLANNEL IN WEEKS. I WILL DEFINITELY !@#$ YOU UP, CHARLOTTE.
shrader Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Something named Lance potentially being a deciding factor in a manliness ranking. Too funny. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer complains about gay people taking all of our toughest names like Bruce and Lance.
BuffaloBill Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Does this mean the male residents of Buffal are girly-men??

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Charlotte... that place conjures up an image of wussy husbands with entitlement wives.
HopsGuy Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Charlotte... that place conjures up an image of wussy husbands with entitlement wives. So you've been here? My group of friends are mostly dudes with 2-3 kids and are totally afraid of their wives. One guy completely bucks that trend. They're all in awe of him. His wife once had the whole neighborhood over, kids running around going crazy. He was a little late getting back from an afternoon on the course. She simply asked him why he didn't call. His response: "What the f*&k do you want me to do? Call you from the course? I was golfing!" It was pretty great. I don't think those women want their husbands playing with me. I'm a bad influence.
dib Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Miami not manly? Where else can you get shot at while on the highway?
shrader Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 And Julius. Those were the toughest names we had. I knew I forgot one. Not enough trips to the gay steel mill, I guess.

ieatcrayonz Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I couldn't open the link. How did Los Gatos do?
HopsGuy Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 I couldn't open the link. How did Los Gatos do? Tied with Venice. I found the data point that ruined Buffalo.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 The criteria for this are so stupid. Basically, if your city has 200 ponderosas and a bunch of Lowe's, you're manly? No wonder that Charlotte--the headquarters for Lowe's--is #1. "The COMBOS® “America’s Manliest Cities” study ranked 50 major metropolitan areas, using criteria that included the number of home improvement stores, steak houses, pickup trucks and motorcycles per capita."
Chef Jim Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 How did San Francisco finish ahead of Buffalo?? Really. I've never seen so many !@#$ing wussies in my life. I think it moved up 5 spots because I move here.
